A puzel is a German word that came from my great Grandmother in Germany. It is the little bits and pieces, threads and stuff that is cut off from the block. It is pronounced Poozle. I had my brother in law make a puzel jar for my mother (the quilter) for Christmas one year. (He is a potter). She set it on her sewing table and dropped the little dog ears, thread and stuff, aka puzels in the jar and kept her sewing area nice and clean. My sewing area is nice and clean too, except for the floor. Edie
